At this point in his presentation, you might assume Zuckerberg would leave nothing to chance. But when it came time to demonstrate the Ray-Ban MetaDisplay’s unique new wristband, he opted against using slides and decided to try it live.

The wristband is what he called a “neural interface” – in a genuinely remarkable feat of technology, it allows you to type through minimal hand gestures, picking up on the electrical signals going through your muscles. “Sometimes you’re around other people and it’s, um, good to be able to type without anyone seeing,” Zuckerberg told the crowd. The pairing of glasses and wristband is, in short, a stalker’s dream.

Jesus christ.

That would be genuinely a piece of hardware I might adopt if it's actually working as well as normal keyboard with touch typing. And obviously it has to work locally like any HID without sending everything I type to Zuck or someone else.

Sorry. All your data belong to zuck.

I can wait until someone else than Zuck(r) offers something better.

We said that about the Portal. The successor to the PortalTV isn't going to replace the units I have in the field.

From all reports it works amazingly well.
